One is that English and French are both official languag- es in Canada and the other ie that there are very many people in the Dominion who can speak one of these two official languages. Apart from the officiality of it, there are courtesy and kindly consideration in the gest- ure. Here is what the census tells us. Fifteen per cent of the population of Canada, excluding those under ten years of age, are unable to speak English. More than 48 percent of the people of Quebec stated that they could not converse in the language of the Anglo-Saxon. That is almost half of the population of the province. Sixty - one in every hundred of the Quebec people of French origin can- not speak any language except their mother tongue. The nearest approach to this is New Brunswick where there are many Acadians. Eleven per cent of the people of that province are non English-speaking. Put in another and perhaps more definite way, the population of Can- ada ten years of age and over is about 8,170,000. Of these, there are 1,130,000 who were born in the Dom- inion and other British countries who cannot speak English. Of these again there are 1,079,000 of French origin and the other 51,000 are of many races, chiefly Dutch, Italian, Russian and Germain , There are 29,000 Ind- ians unable to speak English. Prince Edward Island is the most English - speaking province of the Dominion. Only one in every three hundred is unable to converse in Eng- lish. Practically every adult, whose mother tongue is Gaelic, can read and write English also. Nova Scotia comes next with over one per cent who can- not speak English, and Ontario third with over two per cent. In the West- ern provinces the percentage runs over four in each ease.
